Is child overwhelmed with stress from academics, social life, daily responsibilities, or the current social climate? Are they isolating more or are harder to connect with? Maybe they’re voicing increased worry or anxiety? Adolescence can be hard. It may bring distance from family, mood swings, or harmful coping skills like substance use or self-injury. But it can also be full of joy—building meaningful relationships, discovering identity, and gaining independence. Counseling is a great tool in this time of change, and I'm here to provide support centered on teens needs.
I take a collaborative approach to support your child through challenges like depression, anxiety, or trauma. My goal is to help them find relief and clarity amid the chaos, using creativity in session and engaging their unique interests. With work, my clients build stronger relationships, effective communication, resiliency, and a clearer sense of self.
I hope I can be of help to you and your child in their mental health journey, whether it is a new experience or a return to counseling. Head to my website to schedule a free 15-minute consultation or reach me by call/text/email. I am here to support your family, and I look forward to connecting soon!

I work with young people experiencing anxiety, depression, and trauma—concerns that are both common and actually highly treatable through therapy! We start by exploring the roots of the problems, and then collaborate to learn skills, process emotions, and move forward. Therapy can take time, but often clients start to feel some change and relief in the first month.
